Balcone d'Italia

The view to Lugano lake is beautiful even if the weather is misty. Important: If you are visiting from the Italian side, switch off your data roaming as Switzerland is on the other side and they may charge you fees for roaming outside of EU.

Nice view. Accessible via good roads from Porlazza. One can see Lago Lugano including Lugano and Lago Maggiore

Perfect viewing platform to enjoy the scenery of Italy 🇮🇹 and Switzerland 🇨🇭. The stunning views of the snow capped mountains and the blue lakes in the valley make the curious drive up to the top definitely worthwhile.

Breath taking views and peacefully quiet

Stunning view of the area.

Spectacular. Put Via Sighignola 22024 in your Navi and drive to the top. Don't worry about the hairpin bends or the road condition..just keep driving till you get to the car park.
Plenty of parking, a cafe with good coffee (cash) and excellent views while you straddle the Swiss/Italian border.

Breathtaking views.

Che meraviglia! There are not any pictures to post because of the misty weather. Still, great place worth of visiting.

A very beautiful place of northern Italy! I highly recommend going there

A long drive through a narrow, curved and uphill road bit worth it... beautiful view

Wonderful!

It's a really really really challenging hike! Don't try to do it in jeans and sneakers. It's not for beginners.
However! The view is worth every drop of sweat. It's absolutely stunning up there.
I believe you can go there by car as well. Not sure though because we hiked.

Scenic views (panoramic view) from the lakes. There’s a small free parking lot close to the site. Access to the Swiss side. Counts on a small coffee place with tables where you can enjoy beverages and ice cream served by a cordial staff.

Beautiful view of Switzerland from Italy

Absolutely breathtaking view of Lake Lugano and Switzerland! It is actually a piece of Italy in Switzerland! You will always remember this view!
There is a caffe there to eat and drink as well. Also a small church. But the best part is the view.

One of best panoramic view. Italy Switzerland. Quite good service on site including food and toilet. Parking for 20 cars and 40+ bikers. Hard to get, but view is worth it. Sport cars and huge caravans will have some issues due to tinny and damaged roads.

unbeliveable stunning place in the world you should visit befor dying

Awesome awesome view of Lake Lugano and a lot more. A long 30 mins climb with the car that is definelty worth it. There is a small coffee place on top with fair prices considering the location that is great for a refresh before heading down. There is also a playground for kids when you get up

Amazing scenic views of the Lake Lugano and surroundings. The road to get here it’s a bit bumpy but it’s worth it.

Amazing view!!! Breathtaking in deed!!! Although, the road is narrow and not in its best shape, plus is full of cyclists, so beware, not a road for everyone!
